State Bank Of India — Cheque lost by bank

Address:

Thane, Maharashtra

I had deposited cheque No 027730 of the amount 2, 52, 840 in bank of Maharashtra Dahanu branch on 1 Jan 2015. This cheque was issued by Post Office which has a account in SBI This cheque was sent by bank to SBI Clearing center in Mumbai. This cheque was not honoured as Post Master had not signed on the cheque. Clearing house sent the image of cheque to Bank Of Maharastra . Instrument was not returned to Bank Of Maharashtra.Bank of Maharashta waited for few days to get instrument in hand so that I can take it back to Issuing Post Master -either to get a fresh cheque or to get that instrumenet signed so that I can present it again. I was told by SBI palghar that SBI had sent the instrument to Nagpur. NO BANK IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND THE CHEQUE FOR LAST TWO AND HALF MONTH. My simple request was that once SBI is sure that the amount is not paid to anybody else and the amount is the SBI only, issue me a certificate so that Post Master Dahanu can issue me a new cheque. I am calling both the banks everyday about this for lat two and half months. I am a retired person of age 67 and has undergone two angoiplasticy. and no other source of income other than the interest which I used to get from MIS in post office.
